Ewe harshly head butting other ewe’s lamb

[Julia Mary]

Any chance she's not fully female and has hidden testicles?

Oh does this happen much? How would I know? I have noticed that her behavior seems more like the ram and wether, and less like the other ewes. But I am new to sheep and don't really know a lot about them. Also, the ram was always very interested in the other two ladies, but never showed interest in her, but I assumed that was because she was smaller and less mature. She is the same age as the dark ewe, they are sisters, but I guess she was the "runt" of the litter, always much smaller. We bought them all together when they were about 3 months old.

We have Katahdin/Dorper ewes and a registered Katahdin ram. We just finished with lambing and had 19 lambs. I got the prettiest, spottiest lambs I ever had.

Here's a link to my lambing thread.

Your lambs are so adorable. Finns need to be sheared, will you be spinning the wool?

Oh thanks for sending the thread, I sure enjoyed looking at your lambs! The spots really are beautiful. I am just learning to spin, have only done it on a drop spindle and need to move up to a spinning wheel. I don’t knit that well though so may have to learn to crochet as I’ve heard that’s easier. We really just got a few sheep for fun, and maybe a little meat now and then if one needs to be culled. I do needle felt so will use the wool for that.

I admire you for learning to spin! Knitting and crochet escapes me, I haven’t a clue. You are doing great!
